if anyone reads the link on the Direct TV site you posted, it’s hilarious.
Direct TV tries to play “i’m the innocent victim” by accusing Comcast of hiking the cost of the channel 20%.
Anyone else think this sounds strangely similar to the NFL Network/RZC fiasco? With the rates Direct TV charges, they are not in a position to complain about anything.
Direct TV sucks and is run by a bunch of tools. I’ve had them for 10 years now and hate every minute of it. If they didn’t have a monopoly on the NFL Sunday Ticket, i’d never give them a dime….. but unfortunately it’s the only way to see my team from where i live.
If Direct TV could go the way of Lehman Brothers, i’d be completely satisfied. Put the NFL Ticket on cable & let Direct TV die a horrible death.

Anita Marks is the worst….@craig, I hope you are right. The better she does, the quicker she leaves Baltimore. SHe is nothing but a ball rider….
Loves McGahee, wants the Ravens to trade the world for either Brandon Marshall or Bouldin…wanted TO in the off season….she is an idiot..

How about this for innovative?
No announcing, no sideline reporting, no one. Just a live feed of the game with score, quarter and time in the box.
No Dan Dierdorf.
No Phil Simms.
No stupid attempts to soothe egos of former coaches and players.
Or, better yet, put three rabid fans inside a booth with nothing but hard alcohol and snacks and just mic the room. That would be groundbreaking.

I happen to heart DTV, although the customer service has gone to crap ever since they started outsourcing their installation. The last couple years whenever I get new stuff installed I have to tell those morons how to do the installation and when there is a service problem I have to tell the idiot on the other end of the phone what to do to fix my problem…
but sunday ticket rules, I can watch it on my iPhone, my Lappy, and on two big screens side by side.

To each his own.
Personally, I think Directv is the cats ass. I couldn’t ask for more, just awesome.

I guess DirecTV in Canada must be a lot different that what I get in the States. Joe, I get that you hate it, but you never said why. I dumped Comcast to get DirecTV a couple of years ago and would never go back to cable. Could give you ten reasons why Comcast sucks.

DirecTV and the executives at the NFL have very warm places in Hell to report to.
The monopoly they have over The Sunday Ticket is criminal. I live in a house surrounded by trees – I have no way of getting DirecTV. Then the NFL turns around and tries to cram The NFL Network and RedZone down cable operators throats. Despicable.
I’ll shout it from the rooftops – if you know someone who lives in the home market of your favorite team – BUY A SLINGBOX. Then go here: http://www.nchsoftware.com/capture/index.html
Your favorite team’s games, and the ability to record them.
